Benefits of ring technology for low capacity end of line packaging – versatile wrapping features, improved packaging quality.
Signode's Octopus® Compact Series (Compact 20 / Compact TSi) automatic rotary ring stretch wrapper incorporates the latest technology with the classic octopus ring-type method of wrapping to provide optimal load containment, while optimizing film usage. The Octopus Compact Series features an “S” type film carriage for easy, quick and safe film reel change, less film necking and better pre-stretch performance compared to "W" type film carriages.
■ Provides unmatched flexibility
Ring design allows for positioning in the vertical direction enabling wrapping to begin and end at any height for unlimited wrap patterns. Ideal for a range of applications including unstable and lightweight products, the Octopus Compact Series has no centrifugal forces simplifying the wrapping of challenging loads.
■ Unique wrapping approach
The Octopus Compact Series is equipped with No-Touch No-Tail film seaming as a standard feature, eliminating film tails and preventing the seaming device from touching the load itself.
■ Continuous film force-to-load adjustment
Each wrapping pattern has customized force-to-load settings for individual parts of the load for improved load containment.
■ Addresses packaging challenges
The TSI model has an integrated top sheet dispenser and protects the load against dust or water ingress. It gives significant space savings on the factory floor and the top film positioning is extremely accurate. It allows a solid top cover that is added during the wrapping cycle without any film seaming on top of the pallet.
